Divine Breathings!: A Pious Soul Thirsting after Christ in 100 Practical Meditations.

The wicked have their heaven here-and their hell hereafter. But the righteous have their hell here-and their heaven hereafter. Dives had his good things in this life-and Lazarus his evil things. Now Lazarus is comforted-and Dives is tormented! I will not, therefore, envy the prosperity of the wicked, nor be cast down at the afflictions of the righteous; seeing the one is drawn in pomp to hell- while the other swims in tears to heaven! A literary gem and a spiritual treasure, "Divine Breathings! A Pious Soul Thirsting after Christ in 100 Practical Meditations" is the doorway for greater peace and support on your devotional journey. Originally published in 1836, Thomas Sherman's spiritual masterwork is profound, poetic, and has obviously grown out of a life of study, erudition, and personal prayer. Learning to be still and embracing meditation will recharge your soul, bring you peace, clarity, increased creativity, increased productivity and deepen your relationship with God. We meet God in the silence. God speaks to us in silence. "Meditation and Prayer resemble the spies that went to search the land of Canaan: the one views, and the other cuts down; and both bring home a taste of the fairest and sweetest fruits of heaven. Meditation, like the eye--views our mercies; and Prayer--like the hand, grasps those mercies!"
